Drop-Out Father

Directed by Don Taylor

With Dick Van Dyke, Mariette Hartley, George Coe, William Daniels and Monte Markham

Successful advertising executive decides to get out of the rat race but the family rebels at the new lifestyle he outlines. He and his youngest daughter leave the suburbs for a Manhattan loft apartment while the rest of the brood -- wife and three kids -- re-evaluate the situation. For his engaging score, Peter Matz won an Emmy Award nomination.
